arch-test and armel on arm64
Hi!
Could you guys please educate me what's the matter with SWP on armel these
days? It seems that almost no programs use it anymore. Should I remove the
check for SWP from arch-test, so it reports a machine+kernel as capable of
running armel even if it neither supports nor emulates this instruction?
I somehow can't reproduce the crashes even with jessie's armel. I remember
reproducing such fails, including more subtle cases where instead of a clean
SIGILL the intruction was silently ignored, resulting in code that appeared
to work unless there's multithreaded lock contention. So where did the
crashes go? I don't claim to understand this anymore...
Thus, would it be a good idea to just ignore the SWP issue and let
debootstrap proceed?
